[Lord
Sandwich's flag was on board the Nazeby, when he went to the
Sound.]
APRIL 1st, 1660. (Lord's day). Mr. Ibbot [Minister of Deal,
1676.--PEPYS'S MS. LETTERS.] preached very well. After dinner
my lord did give me a private list of all the ships that were to
be set out this summer, wherein I do discover that he hath made
it his care to put by as much of the Anabaptists as he can. By
reason of my Lord and my being busy to send away the packet by
Mr. Cooke, of the Naseby, it was four o'clock before we could
begin sermon again. This day Captain Guy come on board from
Dunkirk, who tells me that the King will come in, and that the
soldiers at Dunkirk do drink the King's health in the streets.
2nd. Up very early, and to get all my things and my boy's packed
up. Great concourse of commanders here this morning to take
leave of my Lord upon his going into the Nazeby. This morning
comes Mr. Ed. Pickering, [Brother to Sir Gilbert Pickering,
Bart.] he tells me that the King will come in, but that Monk did
resolve to have the doing of it himself or else to hinder it.
